Everton seem to have the easiest games aside from tonight and Man city. Which is why we need them to dorp points tonight. As the longer they're have a chance the harder they will fight.

Lets hope for a Leeds win tonight also.

 

At the end of the day ONE of those teams behind us is getting in the top four. We can't finish third AND fourth. One of them has to pick up points. 

 

Given the context of all their seasons, Chelsea are the most likely to have a sudden up turn in form, the more Tuchel gets settled etc. They've got the best players out of all that pack. 

 

So I'd happily see them take wins against Everton and West Ham tbh. I can't really see West Ham staying consistent enough but stranger things have happened and Everton are definitely a threat.

After seeing the Everton tweets of thinking they'd be a step up for Barnes, yes. 

That is a bit embarrassing unless they were talking about Ashley

I just hope its only One, altho two's probably OK if Man U drop out. I would n't worry about that if I was sure Olly was n't getting some guidance. He surely can't stay lucky for ever.I'm sure Pogba's agent isn't giving him any.

A draw would be fine but a Chelsea win not an issue either. I expect Everton to beat Burnley at the weekend so keeping that gap to them is crucial.

I'm not sure even that would be true

Chelsea made 5 changes from Liverpool, made me very uneasy!

Chelsea have a massive quality squad ........ he has to give players a game ..... he isn’t going to play a weakened side in the CL now ....

[Pliskin]

Surely a draw is ideal between these two? Then we just want United and City to beat anyone bar us in the top ten.... and perhaps Leeds to do is a favour or two along the way. It’s a big few weeks coming up in the prem, Leeds are playing a few of the top ten and are capable of causing an upset. Leeds and Villa could be key in all of this, snatching points off some of those chasing us.

Yeah I know. Just gave Everton no chance in this, now I'm think they're nailed on to win

Does this go down as the dreaded vote of confidence?

[turlo]

Draw would be ideal, although Chelsea win would be better than an Everton win. Hopefully dirty Leeds can get at least a point later

[Leicester_Loyal]

Doucoure has broken his foot apparently and will be out for most of the remaining season.

 

Great news for us if true.

[STUHILL]

Never wanted a BORE draw more!

This is the most exciting relegation battle for a while. Who do people think will be the 3rd team to go? I thought Newcastle but I've just looked at their run in and it isn't too bad. I think Burnley will be too streetwise to get relegated and Southampton have too much quality. Brighton are interesting but they have been a bit unlucky and do seem to create chances 

 

Maybe it will be Fulham battling it out with Newcastle in the end. 

Newcastle have been shit for the last couple of years. Their football is boring and they have turned into the "new" Stoke. They´ll drop .....

Bit worried about them spuds

The Bale/Kane combo looks a bit tasty at the moment

Whats that now? 3/4 wins on the bounce?

2 in the league 1 in Europe. But you'd have to fancy them to beat Southampton comfortably. 

[RowlattsFox]

I'm happy enough that one of them will drop points at least. 

[RumbleFox]

Chelsea’s squad is insane really. It puts into perspective just what we’re dealing with and just how well we’re doing. X 

[Lineker's Left Foot]

Would want a Chelsea win ideally.  Not to sound defeatist but they will finish above us due to the Tuchel effect etc as well as a great squad.  

[RumbleFox]

I have Digne and Richarlison in my FPL team so maybe a high scoring draw with both of them scoring and assisting each other. X

You say that but look at 2016. “They can’t win it” they said. “5000/1” they said.  And look what happened. 
 

Dream the dream, man.

Yes I’m leaning that way now.  Let both Manchester clubs and Chelsea keep winning in these top 8 teams games. 

[Bert]

A draw is perfect. A chelsea win simply builds their momentum and confidence. 

[BirminghamFox]

Ideal scenario is 2-2 (in sending offs) and 0-0 Bore Draw
